Seeing as at least one person in all of my circles has been to Japan, I'm wondering if anyone here has been as well?
Yes! I’ve been a couple of times, last time in 2023. You should mostly definitely go if you have the opportunity. Plus it’s almost 100 yen to every $1 at the moment, that’s the highest I’ve ever seen it. You can live it up at that exchange rate.
Awesome! Whereabouts did you go?
Yup. Didn't plan for it but it was cherry blossom season too!
Ooh lovely!
Yes, twice and can't wait to go again! Highly highly recommend!!
Ooh yay, where did you go and where do you want to visit next?
I've been to Tokyo and Osaka (and some random day trips out of both). There's soooo many places I'd love to go. Okinawa, Hokkadio, would love to bike along the Shimanami Kaido, take an overnight ferry, properly see Mt Fuji, visit Kamikochi. There's so much!
I'd also really just love to eat 7-Eleven onigiri again.
